An open letter to Roger Ailes, President of Faux News, in yesterday's WaPo. Interesting reading for anyone who's interested in Faux News' future in the forthcoming Obama-era mediascape, not to mention how the GOP might be able to climb out of the hole it's dug for itself over the last few years.
During the campaign just completed, you guys focused on Barack Obama's allegedly Muslim and alien roots and socialist ideology; meanwhile, in the real world, unemployment rose, foreclosures soared and Wall Street went flooey. Over the past eight years, you beat drums for such causes as state intervention in the Terri Schiavo case. You demonized undocumented immigrants (okay, CNN's Lou Dobbs gave you a run for your money on that one). You fed the Republican base with a steady diet of bile -- and now that bilious base is the biggest impediment to the Republicans' repositioning themselves so that they can win elections again.
